Chapter 70: Unfamiliar Paleo Recipe (Fourth Update!)

“Soup dumplings!”

At this point, Xia An suddenly had an idea and thought he had found a solution to the problem of having a lot of soup in the filling.

The characteristics of red-haired pork are that it is soft, tender and juicy.

The lobster fish has huge claws and is juicy and delicious.

Juicy + juicy.

The characteristics and tone of these two main ingredients of the fillings basically determine that it is impossible to bake the dumplings to a dry, crispy and fragrant texture over high heat.

Xia An even felt that even if the Dumpling Brothers who created "Flame Dumplings" came, they would not be able to solve the problem of the juiciness of the ingredients. They could only discard the ingredients and replace them with other ones.

But Xia An felt that things were far from the point where he had to abandon the fantasy ingredients.

There is a solution!

"If we change the type of flame dumplings into soup dumplings," Xia An secretly laughed, "I'm afraid that the coffin lid of Dumpling Brother will not be able to hold him down. He will jump out of the coffin and come out to compete with me in the field of dumplings."

Xia An's pastry making skills have been upgraded to [Mastery], and he knows how to make snacks such as soup dumplings and soup dumplings.

Generally speaking, whether it is soup dumplings or soup dumplings, "meat jelly" is needed to create a rich soup.

The so-called "aspic" is made by scraping off the hair and fat from the pig skin, leaving only a pure skin, blanching it, dicing it, and then throwing it into a pot and boiling it with ginger, peppercorns and other spices to remove the fishy smell.

Afterwards, pour out the soup that has been boiled for a long time, let it cool, and put it in the refrigerator overnight to get "soup jelly", which is also called "meat jelly".

In short, all you need to know is that "aspic" is made by boiling pig skin.

It's all pig skin gelatin.

"Meat jelly" plays an important role in the production of soup dumplings, which is to quickly mix the meat jelly with the filling before pinching the dumpling skin.

So the aspic is cooked on the pastry stove, and when it encounters high temperature, it quickly melts into soup.

But Cheyenne didn't need aspic.

The juice provided by the two main ingredients is already large enough, so why use the soup from the aspic? Do you think the dumplings are not full or fried enough?

and so.

The cooking method adopted by Xia An is vaguely similar to another method of making soup dumplings and soup dumplings.

Simply put, there are three steps:
The first step is to make the broth.

Use chicken and pork bones to make broth.

The second step.

Grind the main ingredients, add various seasonings to make the filling, then pour in the broth and mix with the filling.

third step.

After the meat filling is mixed, add a little oil and refrigerate for more than 1 hour to allow the fat in the filling to solidify in the low temperature.

A series of detailed steps flashed through my mind.

Xia An felt a little uneasy: "There's nothing wrong with the steps, but do we still need to make soup?"

"Use the soup to stir the minced meat?"

"Won't this continue to increase the water content of the filling?"

The pork chop and red-haired pork are already juicy enough, so they add some broth and soup into the dumplings. Are they afraid that when the temperature is high, there won't be enough juice and the dumpling skin will burst?

Anyway, there is a feeling of dancing on graves, social dancing, and deliberately seeking death.

Just when Xia An was about to give up this practice.

I plan to use the juice of the main ingredients to create the rich and delicious soup in the "soup dumplings".

Wei Xuelin and Chi Xiaobai who just said goodbye and left.

They both turned back.

"What are you two?"

Xia An looked up and found that they looked excited and walked briskly, more anxious than when they came.

"You come."

Chi Xiaobai couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and deliberately gave the right to speak first to Wei Xuelin.

"Hey, come here, come here."

Wei Xuelin also deliberately played a prank and said modestly.

Xia An: ? ?

"never mind."

Chi Xiaobai shrugged: "Then let's go together."

After a pause, he looked at Xia An with a smile on his face:

"The good news is: a famous nine-star chef has approached you to challenge you to a food battle. You can immediately pass the late-night food battle and advance to the nine-star level."

Wei Xuelin continued with a smile:

"The bad news is: this nine-star chef has a very questionable background. He is a ruthless person. If he doesn't have a top-notch killer dish, he will be hard to control."

Xia An's face twitched when he heard this:
"Someone took the initiative to ask me to challenge him to a food battle? And he's a nine-star celebrity chef with problems?"

He knew that after setting up stalls several times in a row and becoming famous, he attracted some unfriendly attention.

Especially in the night market street.

After recreating the miracle of the luminous secret on the spot.

The sensation in the Chinese food world was probably greater than the restoration of a dozen ancient dishes. However, the fact that he could make the dishes shine meant that he had mastered a powerful food secret. Those who dared to challenge him to a food battle were either really tough or stupid, or they had other little ideas, such as riding on the popularity.

beep-

A notification message also popped up from the [Late Night Cook] APP.

Xia An turned on his phone.

[Dear member Xia An, you have a food battle invitation message waiting to be reviewed. 】

【Xiang Shilin, male, 24 years old, gold member, nine-star chef of the Late Night Cooking Association (internationally certified), specializes in fusion Chinese cuisine.】

[Food Wars record, 56 wins and 0 losses (North America)]

After reading it, Xia An's eyes twitched slightly.

Confirmed eyes.

A ruthless person for sure.

The 24-year-old nine-star chef is slightly more talented than Lu Zuguang.

The record in Food Wars will not lie, 56 wins and no losses.

"What does this North America region mean?" Xia An raised his phone and pointed to the line of annotation text on the screen.

Chi Xiaobai smiled:

"That's right. This person is not a chef from the Shenzhou food industry. His achievements were all made in North America. He just passed the international culinary level certification procedures."

Wei Xuelin added: "His specialty is Chinese fusion cuisine. Generally speaking, a North American chef who is good at fusion cuisine is very good at using fantasy ingredients."

After listening to this, Xia An felt strange:
"So it is very likely that this overseas Chinese chef named Xiang Shilin is coming for me?"

Hearing this, Chi Xiaobai and Wei Xuelin nodded.

The two of them understood each other tacitly and did not mention the long-standing historical grudges.

【Challenge/Reject】

Look at the options on the phone interface.

Xia An shook his head.

Forget it, why not take it? I'll save time to improve "Flame Dumplings" and cook a fantasy dish with double 80% utilization rate/fusion degree. Wouldn't it be great?

At this time!

The interface changed, and the suddenly updated food wars rules popped up.

[Ding, the opponent has added a new food war bet: colorful hairtail (gold-level fantasy ingredient), a fresh and complete one. ]

Just when Xia An thought it was over.

Ding.

The Food Wars Clause has been updated again.

[The other party has added a new food war bet: the complete ancient recipe of "Giant Galaxy Noodles". ]

Xia An: “!!”

Galaxy noodles?
The recipe of chef god Liu Maoxing?

This food battle clause immediately hit Xia An's psychological sweet spot.

Among the three ancient dishes he successfully restored, only Kaihua Guoba has some traces of Liu Maoxing, and the other two are the recipes of Ryan and the Dumpling Brothers.

Witness Xia An's completely different facial expressions before and after.

Chi Xiaobai and Wei Xuelin looked at each other, then quietly walked out of the lobby and into the yard outside.

"It seems that Xiang Shilin knows how to impress Boss Xia." Chi Xiaobai chuckled.

Wei Xuelin also smiled and nodded: "There is no doubt that group of people have a strong foundation. Jinghua, the "Devil King of Chaos" among the Eight Phoenix Immortals, and his lineage are now giants in North America."

"In terms of control over resources, it is even better than Nakiri Managi's Europa International Gourmet Association."

The two of them were quiet for a moment.

Wei Xuelin suddenly asked: "Do you think Boss Xia can control the remnants of the Tai Chi cuisine world?"

Chi Xiaobai smiled, with a playful arc at the corner of his lips:

"If you say this to my mortal enemy, the head of Guangzhou Yangquan Restaurant, he will definitely challenge you to a food battle and resolutely defend the white moonlight in the eyes of old-school chefs."

As he spoke, Chi Xiaobai walked out, leaving Wei Xuelin with a suddenly gloomy back:
"But I also agree with this mortal enemy, even though we have been fighting for many years."

"Luminescence is the supreme mystery, the ultimate meaning of cooking."

"It can't lose!"

……

In the room, Xia An was still thinking seriously about whether or not to take part in this late-night food battle.

Unexpectedly, the phone vibrated again.

The food wars clause has been updated again:

[The other party has added a new food war bet: the incomplete ancient recipe of "Face-changing Duck Seven-color Longjing Steamed Noodles", created by Liu Maliu (father of Liu Maoxing/Emperor of Sichuan Cuisine/'Jade Unicorn' in the dark cuisine world). ]

"What's the matter?"

Xia An was a little confused.

Doesn’t he recognize this recipe?
